Day Trip Between London and Manchester?

[Mark Davies]

<font color='#000080'>I've made some enquiries with Scott for his boat The Quest out of Menai Bridge - didn't have his diary handy so waiting for a recall.

If we're making a weekend of it how about mixing some fresh and salt for variety?

Say RV at Eccy Delph or Capernray on the Saturday for some &quot;nice to meet you&quot; / familiarisation dives - back to Manchester for the evening session (recommend a Rusholme curry then into town for the best night out in the North West) and an overnight stay - Sunday down to Anglesey for some boat dives.

Sorted!
Top Madchester diving weekend.
Mad ferrit!!!

<font color='#728FCE'>Just off the phone with Diggsey, he has an empty boat on 6/7 Sept.

So I'll e-mail our american friend , Tony, and get him into the water.

Cost is £28 for 2 dives and a deposit of £10 is required.

Will put the details up on the Planned Trips board, but it will be a pay your own way trip.

Have a look at Orca divers in Liverpool.

and email Steve and let him know your situation. I'm sure he'll be able to sort something out. You'll be able to hire all the equipment from them as well.

You could always ask them to see if they can arrange a night dive in the Liverpool dock. This usually gets a show of hands when a dive is arranged.

You might even find some cash to pay for your dive. (someone usually finds some)


Hope this helps,
